A bus traveling between Meaux and Coulommiers found itself in balance, the front part 3 m from the ground. No passengers were in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Only the driver was at her post. The driver had just returned to duty when the accident occurred. Alcohol and drug tests carried out after the accident were negative. The coach was extracted from its awkward position this Thursday evening around 10 p.m. by a special heavy goods vehicle tow truck. This Friday morning, only a breach in the high wall, barriers and warning tapes indicated that a scene worthy of a Hollywood production had occurred.
